Your local catalog tool
No database or login is required. Save entry keeps changes in this browser only. Export regularly: clearing browser data can remove your edits.
Publish catalog changes
- Edit or add books and save each entry.
- Mark entries Published to include them in exports.
- Export books.json and replace that file in your reader app.
- Use Studios to edit and export studios.json separately.
- Deploy the reader app to publish your changes.
Import JSON adds new records only; edit existing records using the list. Download editor backup retains drafts and archived records. Keep that file for recovery; this version does not offer one-click full-backup restoration.
Covers and previews
Upload covers to your app repository and enter the filename. Set Cover preview location to the deployed app URL for new covers. Wishlist and Collection buttons only change the preview.
ISBN-13 and ISBN-10 are optional. No ISBN disables BooksRun lookups in the reader. Kickstarter entries require a project URL.
